Find the coordinates of the midpoint (M) of PQ.
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Givens
P is (2,8)
Q is (-6,-6)
Equation
Midpoint = (x1 + x2)/2,(y1 + y2)/2
Solution
x1 = - 6
x2 = 2
y1 = -6
y2 = 8
M = (-6 + 2)/2, (-6+8)/2
M = -4/2, 2/2
M = -2 , 1
Just to make sure that you know that the answer is reasonable, I've put the midpoint (-2,1) on a graph with the two endpoints. You could print the points out and check it with a ruler.

Answer:
There are no solutions to the inequality.
Step-by-step explanation:
|x - 3| < x – 3
1. Separate the inequality into two separate ones.
(1) x – 3 < x – 3
(2) x – 3 < -(x – 3)
2. Solve each equation separately
(a) Equation (1)
(b) Equation (2)
For example, if x = 0, we get
|0 - 3| < 0 - 3 or
3 < -3
